INTENTION
I am a living, giving expression of the goodness of God.

Just as I make financial and business commitments in my life, I also make personal commitments to myself each day. In thought, word and action, I keep my commitment to be my best self with all people, in all circumstances.

I set an intention to let my divine light shine, to allow the goodness of God to express through and as me. Today I am kind and understanding, gracious and forgiving, looking for the best in everyone and every situation.

Spirit supports the fulfillment of my intentions. I act on them with energy and enthusiasm, fulfilling my commitment to be my best self today and every day.

Everything will be okay in the end.

If it’s not okay then it’s not the end. 

Looks like I will be moving to Brasil in May after graduation.
Stay tuned :-)

The longer I live the more beautiful life becomes.

My 25th birthday!!!

Heart beats.
Heart beats.

Mine is beating :-)
I am 25 years old today.

And this is super duper special.

I can legit say that there were moments I could not imagine what 25 would be like or even if I would make it here.

But I am here.

And I am just beginning.

I graduate from Eugene Lang The New School for Liberal Arts in May 2011.
I will complete my TEFL course to teach English in other countries in April 2011.
And my 6 year cancer remission mark is in April 2011.

Now, I have to thank God, Ancestors, and the Universe for everything.
Guiding every step from cancer to just growing into myself and learning a lot about life through others and countless experiences. I have always vowed to myself to have integrity and dignity. They’ve left me with several broken hearts and reality shattering reality. But they’ve also introduced me to people and places I could have NEVER imagined meeting and getting to know. I’ve learned to care less about any type of binary and to embrace and love the gray, the unknown. It’s unknown and gray to me but it’s others reality - therefore it’s mine. Just as I am mighty gray and mysteriously unknown to countless people. I am not here to bend anyone or convince them to do anything or “tolerate,” just simply respect and open up.  

I just pray for impeccable health, six pack stomach inspired laughter (for me and others), infinite love, and evolution AND the ability to ALWAYS dance, get stronger, and learn! See, I don’t ask for much. And these things I hope, pray, and wish for everyone.

That’s it. I am about to wash my birthday suit :-) and my birthday clothes. After I blaze up :-) 

Just the beginning…
